Filming a real war isn't at all like making a Hollywood movie - especially when you're a combat photographer. Imagine you're with a squad caught in an ambush. All the fighters - on both sides - have automatic weapons, and all you have is a camera. You change your pants - a lot. The danger, the blood, the humor, friendships, the heroism, and the tragedies are real. This is the story of a newly minted 2nd Lt. (a butter bar) on his tour of duty in those turbulent days that started with Tet '68. These were days some have never --- nor can ever --- move beyond. It's also a story of the absurdities and realities of what war was like from behind a camera. Through a Lens Darkly: Vietnam is a novel, but it's also a real story about that war as seen through the eyes and camera lens of some of the men who filmed it.
